  • Tumor metastasis can be monitored by methods known in the art, including various imaging techniques and histologic examination.
  • the NOG mice that have developed metastatic cancer can be treated with the test compound(s), and any change in the number, size or other properties of the metastatic nodules as a result of drug treatment, and the viability of the test animals are monitored relative to untreated and/or positive control, where the positive control typically is an animal treated with a know anti-metastatic compound.
  • the administration of the test compounds can be performed by any suitable route, including, for example, oral, transdermal, intravenous, infusion, intramuscular, etc. administration.
  • results obtained in this model can then be validated by follow-up pharmacokinetic, toxicologic, biochemical and immunologic studies, and ultimately human clinical studies.
  • the NOG mouse model can also be used to study targeted gene delivery to metastatic nodules in vivo, for example by portal vein infusion of a retro viral vector.
  • this NOG model can be used to study the feasibility of gene transfer to target tumor metastasis, to monitor the duration and level of gene expression and the degree of therapeutic effect, to optimize the dosing regimen and/or mode of administration, to study the dissemination of the gene transfer vector to non-targeted tissues (which provides information about potential toxicity), and the like.
  • Gene delivery most commonly is performed using retroviral vectors by techniques well known in the art.
  • Retroviruses are enveloped viruses containing a single stranded RNA molecule as their genome. Following infection, the viral genome is reverse transcribed into double stranded DNA, which integrates into the host genome where it is expressed.
  • the viral genome contains at least three genes: gag (coding for core proteins), pol (coding for reverse transcriptase) and env (coding for the viral envelope protein).
  • LTRs long terminal repeats
  • Retroviral vectors used in mouse models are most frequently based upon the Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MLV).
  • lentiviruses can, for example, be used for gene transfer into experimental animals, such as NOG mice.
  • Gene delivery can also be performed by adenoviral vectors.
  • Adenoviroses are non- enveloped, icosahedral viruses with linear double-stranded DNA genomes. Adenoviruses infect non-dividing cells by interacting with cell surface receptors, and enter cells by endocytosis. Since the genome of adenoviruses cannot integrate with the host cell genome, the expression from adenoviral vectors is transient. Further details of the invention are illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
  • Example 1 Study of hepatic metastasis of human pancreatic cancer Materials and Methods Male NOG mice and NOD/shiJic-sczd mice of 7-9 weeks, which had been obtained from the Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA, Kawasaki, Japan), were used in this study. The animals were kept under specific pathogen-free conditions according to the Guideline for the Regulation of Animal Experimentation of CIEA.

  • BxPC-3, Capan-2 and PL45 were maintained a culture of RPMI1640 (SIGMA, Cat.No.D6046 or
  • the well- organized and reproducible hepatic metastases seen in NOG mice are useful in the study of hepatic metastasis of human pancreatic cancer and are expected to become the preferred model for screening and developing new anti-metastasis drugs. It was reported that the murine NK activity were compensatory very high in immunodeficient animals such as nude, SCID and NOD/SCID mice, and contributed to the low rate of tumor growth and cancer metastasis (Shpitz et al, Anticancer Res. 14(5A):1927-34 (1994)). In contrast, Ito et al.
  • Example 2 Detection of cancer metastasis related genes in cDNA microarray Materials and Methods Human pancreatic tumor cell lines, MIAPaCa-2, Panel, Capan2 and PL45 (available from ATCC) were cultured according to the method described in Example 1. Total RNA was extracted from confluent culture of those cells using TRIZOL reagent (GIBCO BRL). Cy-3 labeled cDNA probes were synthesized from 20 ⁇ G of total RNA using Atlas human IK specific primer set (BD), PowerScript labeling kit (BD), and Cy-3 fluorochrome (Amersham). Then, the probe was hybridized to the Atlas Glass Human 1.0 Microarray (BD) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • the differentially expressed genes among the pancreatic tumor cell lines were globally searched using the Atlas Glass Human 1.0 Microarray (BD).
  • the Cy-3 labeled signals were detected and obtained and analyzed the corresponding images by aGM418 array scanner (Takara).
  • the data processing was carried out using Imagene Version 5.5 software.
  • MIAPaCa-2 and Panel cell lines were classified into a highly metastatic group, while the other cell lines, Capan2 and PL45, were classified into a non-metastatic group.
